Old spoilers
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boudewijn Wayers' FTP site <ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/games/nethack> and
Web site <http://www.win.tue.nl/games/roguelike/nethack> contain a large
number of quality spoiler files.  Most were written for NetHack 3.1.
The following files are now completely replaced by this new set of files:
armour        See armr-322.txt.
artifact      See arti-322.txt.
cancel        See wand-322.txt
corpses       See food-322.txt.
damages       See arti-322.txt.
enchant.lim   See armr-322.txt and weap-322.txt.
food          See food-322.txt
gems          See gems-322.txt
itemlist      See tabs-322.txt.
markers       See scrl-322.txt and spel-322.txt.
objects       See tabs-322.txt.
protect       See armr-322.txt.
rings.eat     See ring-322.txt.
statues       See misc-322.txt.
water         See potn-322.txt.
weapons       See weap-322.txt.
weapons.srt   See weap-322.txt.

One file is partially replaced by the new set of spoilers:
timedate      Partly in gems322.txt.

These spoilers are not related to the new set, but they look like they
need updating to 3.2.2:
altars        Needs probabilities of converting altar -- and you.
classes       Needs commentary on weapon skills of each class.
classabi      Perhaps should be merged with classes?
dungeon       Needs new Minetown, Mine end, Big Room, and Medusa.
dungeon.map   Needs new Minetown, Mine end, Big Room, and Medusa.
endgame       Helm of opposite alignment no longer a good idea.
intrinsi.cs   Clairvoyance now from wizard cornathaum.
monsters.lng  Needs gargoyle, winged gargoyle, black light.
              Mind flayer amnesia.  Baby dragons don't confer intrinsics.
to_die        There's plenty more.
trouble       Needs punishment+pit trick, etc.
wishing       Should be reviewed.  PYEC no longer as good.

Finally, these spoilers look okay to me at first glance, but since I
haven't checked them carefully against the source code, I could be
mistaken:
crowning      Looks okay.
exper         Looks okay.
exercise      Looks okay.
gremlins      Looks okay.
monequip      Looks okay.
pets          Looks okay.
priests       Looks okay.
quests.map    Looks okay.
raising       Looks okay.
speed         Looks okay.
stats         Looks okay.
timeout       Looks okay.
xp_value      Looks okay.

Much of the material in these spoilers is based on prior work of others.
In some cases, I have taken quoted material directly, but most has been
newly written in my own words based on research from the 3.2.2 sources.
